| Pros | Cleared some acne |
|---|---|
| Cons | Caused skin peeling and rash on my face and tightness of the skin |
| Bottom line | It may just be me, but my skin worsened after two days worth of doses. My skin was flaking and peeling and had red inflamation on my face. |

| Pros | it work alright. |
|---|---|
| Cons | it doesn't smell THAT bad!! |
| Bottom line | i used it when i got my c-section. i noticed NO acne in a week. i was taking it 4 times a day though. try it i actually never new this was for acne but hey if it works use it. i read over all of your reviews and it seems to work better on WOMEN, sorry guys. but we have different chemicals and thats probably why. |

| Pros | None |
|---|---|
| Cons | Didn't help my acne, smells nasty, tastes bad even if you swallow it quickly. Large pills. |
| Bottom line | Cephalexin/Keflex isn't very good for acne, and isn't very effective. It didn't disrupt my stomach like minocycline did, but it's hard to get down because of the scent which you can also taste. I had to take this with soda to swallow it. Didn't clear my acne, nor did it help with inflammation, clearing breakouts or preventing them. However it did help my post-nasal drip a little. |

| Pros | cheap |
|---|---|
| Cons | bad taste |
| Bottom line | i went to the doctor for a sore throat and she prescribed cephalexin to me, im sitting here wondering why she gave me this if its used for acne. but it says it fights bacteria and its kind of worked so far but i also have acne but i haven't noticed any changes in that |

| Pros | Works great for me! |
|---|---|
| Cons | Smelly pills. Can cause some stomach discomfort if taken on an empty stomach. If I take it with food, no problems! |
| Bottom line | I had mild acne throughout high school and tried many different Rxs... I have allergies to almost all antibiotics so my options were somewhat limited, but this was the only med that cleared me up (nothing topical ever worked). I was off of it for several years and right around 21 I broke out worse than ever before. I went back on cephalexin and my acne cleared up within a month. I am 24 now and still on b/c I am scared to break out again if I stop. Wanted to make sure my skin stayed good for my wedding last year! Since my skin has been clear (aside from an occasional period pimple) for quite some time I am gradually reducing my dosage... Also, in addition I only use facial products w/out fragrance and wear mineral makeup which probably also helps... BTW: To the individual who said this is for bacterial infections, not acne: ACNE IS A BACTERIAL INFECTION! Do your research! |

| Pros | Almost gets you there. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Smell. |
| Bottom line | I'm actually unsure wethere my face is clearing up due to these pills or if it's the Differen cream because I was prescribed both at once. This was the first think my derm prescribed to me, back when I was thirteen. It had no effect and gave me TERRIBLE stomach aches every single morning. Two years later my derm decided we should re-try this after some other medicine messed with my white blood cell count. This go around I have no stomach pain and while my face isn't clear it's at least better, this after only a few weeks. |

| Pros | Works very well for acne, very cheap compared to other methods of acne treatments. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Smells horrible, Tastes bad |
| Bottom line | This is a very good drug for acne. Although it may not work for everyone, no one drug works for everyone. This drug is used to treat acne because Acne is a bacterial infection for all of the people who don't understand why it is used to treat acne. |
